Garlic Smashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the garlic and oil to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the oil.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. With a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the water, reserving the cooking water, and remove the garlic from the oil, reserving the oil.
• Process the potatoes and garlic through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add the reserved olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, cream, and 3/4 cup of the cooking water to the potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon. Add more cooking water, if necessary, until the potatoes are creamy but still firm. Season, to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a very large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange potatoes close together in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a fork to press about 1 inch deep in the center of each potato until inner flesh is exposed.
• Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl to blend. Drizzle over potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the oil mixture, until potatoes are crisp and brown on top, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Add additional oil if potatoes seem dry.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle head with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the cloves and mash with a wooden spoon.
• Place potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender and drain. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
• Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

• In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic. Pour 1/4 cup of the butter mixture over potatoes; toss to coat thoroughly. Place potatoes in pan. Use bottom of glass or measuring cup to flatten each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle top with remaining butter mixture; season with salt.

Steps:

• Place potatoes and garlic into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by poking a few wedges with a fork or skewer--if still firm, cook another minute or two and check again. Repeat until tender. Drain, taking care not to lose garlic cloves. Return potatoes to warm pot.
• Mash potatoes. Do not overwork, or potatoes will be tough (it's okay if there's a few lumps--it just means these are real potatoes, not from a box). Make sure to smash up the garlic, or pull out the cloves and squeeze in a garlic press.
• Add some butter, to taste (I usually use 2-3 T), and salt and pepper, also to taste. Mix until butter has melted.
• Add a little hot milk and beat it into the potatoes. Continue until potatoes are desired creaminess (the amount I use varies, but I usually use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, give or take a bit).
• Cover pot with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Potatoes will stay hot for 10-15 minutes this way.
• Serve with a pat of butter in an indentation on top.

• Chop the garlic and scatter it on the potatoes.
• Drizzle the oil on top of the potatoes and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the dish to the hot oven.
• Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes or until the top is crusty and golden brown.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt, bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 40 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, thyme and rosemary in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the garlic starts to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the garlic has softened and browned, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon zest and herb sprigs with a slotted spoon.
• Add the garlic and oil to the saucepan with the potatoes along with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Lightly smash with a potato masher, gradually adding the reserved cooking water as needed, until combined. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil; top with the chives just before serving.
